[Dum-Dum]

I can do over 30mph on the flat on a pedal cycle so if it won't even go that fast it's pointless.
It won't need a gearbox if you go for a 72v 1500w motor, just direct drive it.

its like saying a lambo does 200+ so your subaru must be pointless unless it can do that. 

Nope, your misinterpreting my analogy.
To put it in your terms it would be like saying that a pedal cart (or some other 4 wheeler without an engine) does XXXmph so my Subaru is pretty pointless unless it does that.

TBH anything with a motor is pretty pointless if it is slower than the equivalent motorless vehicle.

Oh and to get further off topic the Scooby is geared for 180mph, I'm not brave enough to try it but it would certainly worry a 2 tonne lambo if it had a bit more power.

Anyway, this thing is cool whatever you do with it.
